Transcript of The Sheldon K. Friedlander Award
The Sheldon K. Friedlander AwardAmerican Association for Aerosol Research
The Sheldon K. Friedlander Award “recognizes an outstanding dissertation by an individual who has earned a doctoral degree. The dissertation can be in any
discipline in the physical, biomedical, or engineering sciences but has to be in a field
of aerosol science and technology”.
This award honors professor Sheldon Friedlander for his leadership as a researcher, teacher, and pioneer in aerosol science.

Jason SurrattUniversity of North Carolina
• PhD., 2010, Chemistry, California Institute of Technology• PhD. dissertation title: “Analysis of the Chemical Composition
of Atmospheric Organic Aerosols by Mass Spectrometry ”• Focused on the chemical characterization of secondary
organic aerosol formed under high- and low-NOx conditions.• “… the first to clearly show that organic aerosol formation from
the oxidation of a-pinene and isoprene under varying NOx conditions leads to organosulfates in ambient aerosol.“
• “By bringing new analytical techniques and insights, he has made substantive contributions to understanding the fate of isoprene in the clean and polluted atmosphere.”
• “… pushing the envelope in science, measurement technology, carefully planned laboratory studies, and field observations.”
• “…one of the world leaders in measurements of the chemical composition of organic aerosol…”
